utserver always closes after 1 min

[gabor000]

I have a Debian 6 (32 bit) based VPS and installed utserver based on http://blog.kxr.me/2011/12/utorrent-server-on-linux-step-by-step.html

I can start utserver, I can connect through the webui, but after 1 or max 2 minutes the program closes automatically.

This is a fresh install, no torrents added yet.

The logfile it creates:

[03:57:59]  Using locale C
[03:57:59]  GetNodeID failed, using /dev/random
[03:57:59]  total physical memory -1 max disk cache 33554432
[03:57:59]  Loaded ipfilter.dat (0 entries)
[03:57:59]  IPv6 is installed

I've debugged the program with gdb and received this:

Starting program: /opt/utorrent/utserver
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]

Program terminated with signal SIGKILL, Killed.
The program no longer exists.

but I not terminated it.

What can I do to make it work?

Maybe fix the [03:57:59] GetNodeID failed, using /dev/random error.

[gabor000]

I can't fix the GetNodeID error in that vps, But it seems changing the executable's filename solved the problem. I don't know why...

Anyway, thank you.

Glad you solved the problem.

I just glanced at the installation procedure you followed, and wonder why they made it so complicated.

I just downloaded the utorrent-server-3.0-25053.tar.gz file to my Downloads folder, installed it in my Home folder. Works like a charm.

Well I did replace it with the latest build, but you get the idea.
